Thanks for the warning. I saw a trailer for it at the theater. They've been showing a Ghibli movie every month, I'll just go to a couple more of those.

If you do want a bit of help orienting yourself in the city itself, I've gone on many tours from this company and they were always great. They're "free" which means they work on tips, usually I ended up paying 10-20 euros, depending on how good the guide was. They have an Amsterdam one and...

I can confirm Bruges is really great as well.

I've only been to Luxembourg very briefly and haven't been to Belgium since I lived there as a child. I remember Brussels was pretty, supposedly has good beer. In the Netherlands I've only been to Amsterdam - it's very fun to just walk around the streets. I highly recommend renting a bicycle (if you...

LASAGNA! Vegetarian lasagna with tomato sauce and sauteed spinach and zucchini. Yum yum.

It's not a matter of getting it to people's homes, it's hard to get it to the actual communities.

Refrigeration is one of the big challenges of distributing vaccines and other medical supplies in developing countries. "Infrastructure" is a hard cause to advocate for...

I have not watched the latest season yet, but I might. I've pretty much given up entirely on The Flash - has this past season been as angstily boring as the previous one?

Blaming someone else is not much of a defense.

I've seen those affiliated with universities as well, so you could try looking up those.

Maybe related to this?

The other day I made Smitten Kitchen's spaghetti pie which turned out really great. I added the broccoli we got in our CSA in addition to some broccoli rabe I got. One of those (guessing the rabe but not sure) had a lot of worms in it that I kept fishing out. I'm... 98% certain I got all of them. Ex...

A series of fleeting thoughts about recent movies/TV shows I've been watching: ⋅ Insecure is a fantastic show by Issa Rae, she plays a somewhat screwed-up young person in LA trying to deal with being the only black person at her work (and NGO that provides education support to young kids ...

Getting us back on topic, someone put a Putin mannequin and a bunch of dildos on the Wall Street bull statue.

Lack of light. Noise from too many people in one room. Difficult to have sensitive conversations. Often impossible to regulate the temperature to your own preference. Usually goes together with small space, though of course you can cram too many people in an office as well. The creepy feeling that ...

What do you think would happen if you have an election again before any official steps are taken, and a pro-EU government was chosen?

Here's our modest vegetable patch. The squash is a bit out of control...

But we have tiny squashes now!

(i) The duration of 24 hours may be reduced if that call center can conclusively prove to the relevant authority that over the previous financial year, the combined duration of waiting across all callers was less than 24 hours. This is completely up to the discretion of the authority. That is a rea...

The question would be: why should the open carrying of {particular thing} be prohibited? Because in the absence of good reasons to prohibit something, it should be permitted. For one thing, because this particular thing is often used for intimidation and quieting of other people, particularly margi...

Zohar

I'm not sure (Hes would know I bet), but I imagine on side streets, where there's not much traffic and you might encounter small children running around, it does no harm to include a stop sign and it makes it safer for pedestrians. While on main streets there's higher traffic and you don't want peop...

Spoilers for previous of next episode and speculation about end of show: Looks like they show the diamonds the centipeedle, so I'm getting that they are going to try and wrap up the series with the diamonds managing to heal the corrupted gems. Though we've still got Lars in space to contend...

Zohar

Spoilers about the entire arc (up to and including "Reunited"): I liked this a lot! I liked we got a chance to have a bit slower pacing compared to a lot of action-packed episodes in the past. I'm very curious about where they take things from here. I wonder if the diamonds will try to...

Tried Smitten Kitchen's latest zucchini with pesto and white beans . It was OK. Not bad, but not great. Possibly needed more cheese. I veered wildly from the recipe in terms of quantities so I'm not surprised I didn't get the flavor just right. Also made a giant caramelized onion quiche with roasted...

That's awesome, I love figs.

This weekend we found we definitely have a couple of squashes growing on our giant squash plant. They're not ripe yet, but it's exciting! Also used basil from the yard for a pesto.

Zohar

We have a pitcher plant and a sundew at home. They both seem to be doing well. We can't really see any bugs in the pitcher plant but the sundew has a bunch.

The government advertises this strategy for citizenship in high immigrant areas and media. They're specifically asking immigrants to come in, trust them, disclose their status, and that they'll get a better life. They are then discharged with no explanation or reasoning and are expected to go back t...

Zohar

Not at all unique for immigrants except now these people who tried to find a legal way to stay here and have pledged an oath to a foreign military are asked to return to their authoritarian regimes with this information available on them.

Zohar

Made of Honor Yeah I'm really glad about that. The way her arc ended was not great, and I think this does a lot to redeem her. I hope they don't get rid of her at the end of tonight's special... Also I expected "Made of Honor" to be related to "Made of Love" from Stro...

I've never tried, but from what I recall meat is a pretty big component of it.

Well those failings also stem from institutional racism - years of segregation and redlining, and the entire idea that public schools get funded according to property taxes, are all racist policies.

"Where are you from? No, like, where are you really from??" are only 3% of the victims of race-based hate crimes in spite of being 5% of the population (though to be fair, that's because black people receive 50% of all hate crimes) This says to me when you look at non-black hate crimes, As...

Cassoulet was one of my favorite foods when I was not a vegetarian. I don't remember what carb we had with it though...

Having seen Now We're Only Falling Apart... Well. I never imagined Rose Quartz would be the one who needs a redemption arc. I feel a bit better about her and Pearl's relationship though. Not 100%, but since Pearl was almost a guide for Rose to walk around the world, it doesn't feel as unbala...
